Healthier blueberry muffins
You’ll never taste the difference, but these moist, fluffy muffins are healthier because they’re made with whole-wheat flour. And they’re loaded with tasty blueberries — an antioxidant superfood! The blueberries and whole-grain fiber both work to help fight gum disease.

-
½ cup lightly packed light brown sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder
